I really hope they put the money back into slinky. It's better to have one mediocre and one nice ride rather than two subpar rides IMO.
For those who have forgot just how disappointing the new version looks, let's go back to the concept art comparison:

The first one looks leaps and bounds more fun. It's more than just a coaster but also a fun tour of Andy's backyard, seeing all sorts of toys from the movies and a lot of fun sets (and according to the original description of it, things would be triggered and move, so there were some things that were more than just static effects).
There is nothing in the second piece of art. It's just so incredibly dull. And even what toys are there and the second launch, both looks kind of ugly with the red track (at least in the art they do). Not to mention the winding path that went through the coaster is gone. Things like that are just cool to have areas to explore and there to be lots of live kinetic energy around you.
As we all know the art is never gospel when it comes to what we actually get, but still it looks so lame and not really fun in the second. I could maybe understand them wanting to cut all the rock work for what should be a cheaper land, but come on, how much could a big plastic shovel cost?
